Denuvo Anti-Piracy System has been breached - You might be able to pirate new games on Day 1
Since its introduction in 2014, every game with Denuvo had to be hacked one by one before it could be played. But now Denuvo has reportedly been successfully circumvented on all games that use it. That said, what should you know about it?
A patch for this issue is currently being developed
For your information, Hypervisor bypass techniques have been used to bypass the game's in-code authenticity checking system without having to remove the anti-piracy system in place. Several piracy groups claim that all games with Denuvo can now be played using the hypervisor bypass without having to be patched first. As a result, new games can be pirated on the first day they are released.
Additionally, Irdeto, the company that developed Denuvo, released a statement saying they are developing a patch to prevent hypervisor bypasses from being used. Although Denuvo was developed to prevent piracy, it is also not popular among gamers who buy original video games.
Moreover, the system works in the background, reducing game performance by 5-10%. Some buyers of original games use illegal patches and now hypervisor bypasses simply to get higher frame rates.
